Time.com commented recently he has suggested several things, all of which are food for thought corporate IT security. The authors admit the theft of Wi-Fi signal in his apartment. Although he agrees that what he did was illegal, unethical or two, he kept the right to do so.

This person is not a monster. If he was willing to steal the signal, a large group of other people too. Apparently, it's easy - indeed, he seems to have a choice between networks. He chose the names for those who hadn t seen the last (ie, default, Netgear) on those. Network owners have the last name at least pay a little more attention to security, and thus may be more difficult to steal some of their coverage.

If Wi-Fi consumers to steal from each other ISN take one bar for security, but there is good reason to monitor carefully this issue. Guests are invited on the Internet at home used to work harm to delete all data stored there, including the files from the office. IT staff must also understand that the homes of poor network protected red carpet in a home network alliance. Because the IT staff into small stages network domestic workers, they must assume that each of shortage and to build barriers around the domestic network.

There are three, maybe a little less common, the potential problems. The story recently in the Guardian begins by showing how easy it is to secure Wi-Fi. Risk is the setting can be changed to send people to sites that are not willing to visit. A Packer is not possible to change the domain name server is configured to send users to a fake website that installs the keyword logger or other malware.

Most people would intuitively think that using someone else network is illegal. Shares are not everybody knows, yet. Indeed, this post Ars Technica takes the opposite viewpoint: The author suggests that it is foolish to think that these activities illegal. The point is that the signal does not spill into the home safely is a man of fair play. He is your Sprinkler and water analogy: If someone Lawn water and cross the water to grass someone else, that person is obligated to pay the ISN ISN tt doubt that the stealing.

In each case, most people don t bother to deal with serious moral issues, and borrowing Wi-Fi is normal.

Blog post recently taken further steps. The author suggests that the person using the network to break the law, or at least ISP's terms of service, allowing people to use the signal SAH. There is likely to get in trouble because of this, but it clearly shows just how confusing and counter-intuitive world of wireless home networks can. IT and security staff must keep this in mind when they helped to shape policy and security equipment approval.
